Walk in the woods

While cutting some firewood, Dad, Hubby and I scoped out some of the land that we hunt on.  We were looking for tracks and maybe a sighting or two.  It was a great day for wildlife; I had seen a 4 or 6 point buck in velvet along the edge of the road that morning when I went to get some coffee.

The rain wasn’t too bad so we explored as threw some firewood into the truck.  It was a quiet, nice day in the woods and we were able to look around and plan our routes into the woods for this fall.

Dad can spot an animal track while in a truck traveling along.  I am not nearly as good.  I missed these tracks but Dad had seen two different spots over the course of a week.  The day after this, we saw the moose!
